How to cook Chicken Meatballs

Mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, basil leaves, half of the zest, and salt and ground black pepper to taste. Cook a small ball to test for seasoning and adjust as needed. Using wet hands, form into 1 1/2-inch balls. Set aside.

Heat enough oil in a deep saucepan for frying. Fry chicken meatballs in batches until golden. Drain on a rack over paper towels. Set aside.

Whisk orange juice, honey, cornstarch, soy sauce, and remaining zest in a small saucepot. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened. Serve with chicken balls.
